Episode 60: I Bird Hunt Because Of A Dirt Bike with Trey Murphy
<p><strong>Today's guest is Trey Murphy, a lifelong Pennsylvania hunter whose upland journey started with one unexpected trade. Back in his mid-20s, his best friend Garrett sold a dirt bike, found a good deal on a Brittany, and unknowingly changed the direction of Trey's hunting life. Not long after, Trey got his first Brittany, Finley, and began traveling the country chasing birds and building a bird dog family that now includes five dogs alongside his girlfriend, Bethany. From the grouse woods of northcentral Pennsylvania to pheasant country in the Dakotas and quail country in Kansas, Trey has become a passionate upland hunter, conservation volunteer, and guide. Today we're talking bird dogs, grouse, road trips, conservation, and the friendships that make the upland community so special. </p><p>Topics Covered:</p><ul><li>Fluctuations of grouse populations in PA</li><li>A dirt bike creating an upland opportunity</li><li>Trey finding romance in the grouse woods</li><li>Why Brittanys are awesome</li><li>The value of DIY public land hunting</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Proud Sponsors:</p><p></strong><a href="https://gundogcentral.com/"><strong>Gundog Central</strong></a><strong></p><p></strong><a href="https://www.balladofthebirddog.com/"><strong>Ballad of the Bird Dog</strong></a><strong></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

Episode 59: Covey Kits with Geoffrey Greiner
<p>Today's guest is Geoffrey Greiner, a retired punk rocker turned passionate bird hunter who made his way from Massachusetts to Arizona by way of Colorado. Although he didn't grow up in a hunting family, Geoffrey found his path into the uplands through his fascination with bird dogs, eventually becoming devoted to the Braque du Bourbonnais breed and chasing Gambel's, scaled, and Mearns quail across the Arizona desert. He's the founder of Covey Kits, a company dedicated to providing practical, field-tested canine first aid kits built by hunters for hunters. When he's not working as a swimming pool repair technician or guiding bird hunts with Stagecoach Pointers, Geoffrey serves as Habitat Chair for his local Quail Forever chapter, helping conserve the landscapes and wildlife that have become such an important part of his life. Today, we're talking bird dogs, desert quail, canine first aid, conservation, and the winding path that led him into the hunting world.</p>
